St Francis BC Coach Ken Moore laments lack of support from IABA

Signs of a crisis in amateur boxing as a result of a lack of activity due to covid 19 came to the fore this week St Teresa’s in Bray was the latest boxing club to find itself homeless during the pandemic.

They've become the second amateur boxing club this week to declare themselves without a home, following Tullow Amateur Boxing Club.
